Bad Effect of Cousins Marriage

Newark n. J. Sunday Call.
81 think some ofthe worst specimens
of humanity | ever saw are to be seen
right here in Passaic County"
"What causes it ?"
"Poor food exposure, and inter
marriage. The last is the chief cause
of the trouble. These mountaineers
are all more or less related and new
blood is seldom introduced into the
race. They marry first cousins whose
parents were first cousins and so it
has gone for generations past. They
live on pork and buckwheat cakes,
sleep in slab novels and withal are
dreadfully immoral. 1t is strange
that there are no more idiots among
the mountaineers, but there are
enough. There is little settlement
only few miles from here, | don't
know just where it is located, but a
salesman told me last year that there
is only one strain of blood in the whole
place, and that everybody has weak
blue eyes and faxen hair. They are
all yellow and frecklel, thin and weak.
He says that there are about half a
dozen idiots in that hamlet and that
the people are the most wretched hu
man beings he ever saw. You ought
to hunt them up"
''Do you know anything about the
origin of the swarthy natives about
the lake,"
"Not much, except that they are
closely related and have Indian blood
in them. Some of these families have
existed here for nearly 800 years and

tors Of the land. l don't want to be
personal, but | know one family here,

All the Year Round.

In the modern counties of Brock.
mock and Glamorgan it is easy to
recognize the old Welsh district OF
Brycheiniog aud Morganwg, each OF
which had its pretty Prince, subject
nominally to the Prince of South
Wales. The town of Brecon, and the
Valley of the Usk in " hich it lies, may
represent for us the whole country (;
for, excepting the pretty little town
of Crickhowel, there is no other place
of Importance in the shire bounds.
Crickhowel is Craig Howell. so called
from a rock on which Howell, Prince
of event, established a fortified post
when he harried the lands of the
Prince of Brycheiniog.
The ancient annals of Wales are
one long continued chronicle of such
marrying and plunderings, of inferno
cine wars of sudden forays, and of
interminable feuds, which there was
no strong central power to repress.
The Welsh built no towns, and
hated the restraints of walled inclo-
sures and the strong feudal castles
which the Normans built at every
point of vantage were to them so many
monuments of hated and an alien
domination.
The palace of the Prince OF Brych-
einiog was but wattled booth, which
might have been built in a day, and
yet its arrangements were regulated
by a highly complicated code. The
high court of the prince was held on
the turf of a grassy bank, the princes
chef privilege being that be might
sit with his back to the sun but the
laws he administered were well settled
and just; compared with which the
grand Contumier of the Normans,
which was the wade mecum of that
pushing race, seems altogether clumsy
and barbaric.

White hannels with hair stripes are
stylish for cool day days in the country.
Belts made entirely of gilt braid are

Fancy hair pins are generally worn
and continue TO be ornamental and elabOr-

The tournure is narrower, but hardly

styles.
Violet wood is used in a variety OF
articles for the toilet, and also for the
handles of fans.
The gilt and silver braid trimmings
form an attractive garniture for tailor
iemain costumes.
Shepherds checks form the uppers of
some of the fashionable walking boots for
summer wear.
-Brier stitching as well as feather stitch
is used on children's clothing, both dresses
and jackets.
Large buttons enter into the trimming
of many fall costumes, and are of very
beautiful workmanship.
For children the flannel giughams
have proved most acceptable gowns. and
have worn wonderfully well.
The soft warm knitted silk underwear
promises to take the place of the Jersey
weaves, as it is healthful.
The sailor Jacket with blouse waist

-Bengaline is yet favorite and will
continue to be for fall costumes of heavier

The season now at its height suggests
many good ideas for remodeling the ward

Low cut shoes have an embroidery of

The plain skirt has come to stay with

The morning costume to be stylish is

bright colored velvet. Yellow is stylish.
There is nothing more attractive than
the bed room wraps of soft raw silk, which
have taken the place of the Angora woods.
The plush skirt which has been worn
all the season with vatiety of overdresses
is still held to as convenient and pretty

COrsets and Common Sense.
Hartford Times.


A French mother would not dream
of buying a corset ready made for her
young daughter, or u straight, corded,
infexible waist. She takes the girl
to a corsetierre, and has her measured.
Her figure is not compressed, it is d.
rected. Lungs, heart, muscles are
allowed full play. Her corset is an
aid to her development, not a him
drance. The girl grows up realizing
the necessity for pliancy and elegance
and accuracy In her corset if she is to
secure elegance and distinction OF
dress and appearance. But you never
see spider waist emphasized by an
exaggerated tournure upon French
woman. There are now many kinds
of thin and flexible cOrsets and corset
waists which have more or less claim
to attention, but they ought never to
be taken at random. A corselette,
or breakfast waist, does not need fit
ting ; but regular corset for dress
purposes, or over which street dresses
and costumes are to be worn, should
be made and fitted like a dress bodice,
from actual measurement by skilled
maker. or a material fine and firm,
yet yielding and soft to the touch.

WATERING HORSES.
How to Prevent Serious Gastric Deranse-
ments and Other Ailments.

There is no doubt that watering
horses at improper times often causes
serious gastric arrangements. Not
withstanding what we have heretofore
said against the vicious practice OF
giving farm horses full drafts of water
Immediately after feeding, too many
persons persist in the practice. The
owners of driving and racing horses do
not make this mistake. The result is,
much of the food swallowed is washed
out of the stomach undigested, and
often carried far into the region be-
yOnd the stomach. Hence the food is
not only undigested, but it is a pro-
nOunced source of irritation. No horse
should be allowed to take large draft
of water for an hour after eating; in
fact, he will not do so if he be allowed
to drink what he wants before eating.
Many persons suppose it is wrong to
allow horse to drink largely of water
before eating. 1t is only true in view
of the fact that neither man nor animal
should ever get so thirsty as to drink
inordinately. But the taking of con-
siderable quantity of water on an
empty stomach in the morning, is not
necessarily inimical to health. The
stomach being empty, and filled with
water, it does not remain there, but
largely passes into the cacum (blind
gut, and thence is absorbed into the
system.
If water be withheld from necessity,
the animal economy is called on, and
delivers up the moisture of the muscu-
lar system and of the viscera. When
it again becomes possible to give water
it is drank largely and thus is alb
sorbed, and the several parts again re-
sumo their natural proportions. Dur
ing hot nights the body becomes dry, |
and hence large quantities of
water will sometimes be taken |
in the morning. But, when an animal |
is very thirsty, it will take more than
is necessary. In this case do not allow |
drinking to full satisfaction. Withhold |
what should not be taken at the first |
draft, and at the end of twenty minutes
after water again. In a majority of in.
stances only enough will be taken to
fairly wet the mouth and throat.
After the horse has eaten, water may
be offered. In this case no more will
be taken than may be necessary to
fairly moisten the food-often none.
The rational practice is to offer the
horse water at every opportunity in hot
weather and when Oh journey; to
give water in cold weather at least
once between meals. In hot weather
the horse should be allowed to drink
lightly at every opportunity, but IL
heated, water should not be given un-
less mile or two of exercise is to be
taken thereafter.
Another thing to be observed in the
of horses is this fact: The
horse Graves pure water, and prefer
ably, cold. Cattle seem inclined to
drink water not cold, and seem not
averse to pond water, yet no animal
should be allowed to drink from stag
nant pools. especially horses and mich

the manager with Il waste pipe attached
near the top. To this the horse will
turn when thirsty. drinking slowly, and
often while feeding he will moisten his
mouth to assist the maStication of dry
food. This provided, there is no doubt
but dry food is better than wet food for
the working horse.-Farm. Field ossd
